There are so many things going on with James that are beyond our control. There are things about him that we just can’t fix. That doesn’t stop us from trying, though.
I don’t know if this is part of the cerebral palsy, or his muscle tone, or a combination of the two, but his right wrist curls in. I know that he will probably get some sort of professionally made wrist splints to try to correct it eventually, but I made a very crude attempt at making something to help straighten his wrist.
Here is a picture from Christmas. You can see how much his right wrist curls in.
I was looking around our condo to see what we had that I could use to make something that would help straighten his wrist and this is what I came up with:
We have a few of these Posey wraps that are used to keep the probe for his pulse ox in place. I put one around his wrist and one around his open hand. That white piece you see between the two Posey wraps? A Q-tip.
Like I said earlier, it is very crude. We’ll see if it helps or not.
